Chassis/ Heat Sinkable Mount

Overview

Chassis Mount/Heat Sinkable Resistors

Resistors that efficiently transfer heat from the resistive element out into the surrounding medium or heat sink are known as heat sinkable resistors. Resistive power density largely depends on the mounting arrangement and its thermal aspects. Chassis mounted resistors provide low temperature coefficient of resistance and thus are ideal for the purpose of heat sinking. Read More

Chassis mount resistors are basically wire-wound resistors where a large ceramic core is molded into an aluminum, chassis-mount housing using extrusion. The wire-wound design maximizes pulse handling, while the aluminum housing provides superior heat conduction. Since heat is released in one plane, that side is attached to an external heat sink.

Chassis mount resistors commonly find application in:

  • Braking systems
  • Welding equipment
  • X-Rays
  • Motor Control Systems
